chechfsga Repetition or the
Cfty's history.

From the great hustle and flow over
the failure Of the present Taxing Dis.
trict officials 10 advertise for bids be-
fore awarding contracts aud buying
ing material for public improvements,
the opinion may exist that 1t is the
fret departure from the strut letter
OF the law. II has bsen frequently
heard, however, that their predeces.
sors In Office did the came thing, and
to get the real facts an APPEAL re-
porter yesterday went on a search
through the records. One contract,
made before the government was q
year old, was q, follows:
On the 18Th OF January, 1880, ].
Sharp Mcdonald & o., limited, by
j. Sharp Mcdonald, Chairman, pro.
posed TO furnish the Taxing District

having been previously made, and re-
farred 1t to committee. January
18th (he next day., the Council held
a meeting, when the committee re.
ported, recommen1 ding the scceptap ca
Of the proposition as made. Toe
Council at that meeting adop.ed the
report OF the committee, and In
structed the City Attorney to prepare 9
contract, which he did, and II wal
signed before the council adjourned
thus receiving a proposition, accept
ing II and closing the contract wi,hir
two days without q line OF advsitls
ing. The amount involved In tn,
contract was SIS, 900. Since that day
purchases Of material have been mad,
by the several administfa ions q
various times with out advertising. II
view OF the indisputable fact that tn,
city has invariably received all tb'
benefs without any harm, nothiD,
was ever thought about II by succeed
ing officials. The same may also bi
truthfuly said Of the present admins
tration. 1t has always been q diff ,ul
matter for Memphis to get PAWN
stone in any qua ,tities, hence thu
policy hiss been brought about, b,
force Of circumstances, TO buy any anc
all that was offered.
The matter Of overlooking an &C

with consummate ability to keep the
public balances very close to the fig
ures thai are least likely to occasion
any uncertainty in the public mind.
He has taken In and paid out large
amounts, and yet has not occssioned
any fears upon the part Of bankers
or capitalists. In this his conduct
has met with very hearty Endorsement
by Republicans as we'll as Democrats.
There Is good grounds for believing,
therefore, thst the financial policy OF
the fret Democratic administration
since 1891 will furnish no tangible
basis for serious criticism. The coun.
try approves 1t. As 20 pensions, the
two parties are fairly divided upon the

about q serious internal c,mmo.ion,
bu. the disciplinary power Of the party
must be Invoked TO compel absolute
aud ungudging conformity. The folly
must not be attempted OF adjusting
